Ashoka The Great Cuisine Of India

The restaurant is very amicable, the staff is nice, food is of reasonable quality for the price. The taste is good, but not very different. The thalis are well planned but monotonous so not something to repeat. The service is good, timely and food is fresh. A decent north indian restaurant in the Artesia Indian food street.

Anniversary dinner... We always choose Indian cuisine for our 1 on 1 dinners because we enjoy it more than our kids. Veggie korma is our go to dish but it was only soso here tonight. The peas were slightly under cooked and the flavor was not as buttery and creamy as other kormas we've had at other restaurants. We also had the saag paneer which was ok but had a tangy aftertaste. The goat curry was all bones and fat but the flavor was average and not gamey. The rice costed more than the naan which I thought was weird. Our server was very nice but forgot the citrus we requested and didn't come back to check if we needed water... There were 2 large parties of 8 though so...

Chicken Tikka Masala: Amazing texture. Slightly melts which I certainly was not expecting.

The vegetables could’ve cooked a little longer. It had a crunch to the cauliflower and the potatoes did not have a smooth bite. Garlic Naan: It did not hold well. It was soggy, chewy and moist. I presume this be better suited by dining there. Vegetables Samosas: Wonderful size! However, they did not have much flavor and left a slight grease film in my mouth. I’d definitely go there for the chicken tikka masala. That one bite it had was AMAZING. I’ll just go wh
